Speaker - Cameron Carlin His Grace Foundation

Join us for our December presentation, with Cameron Carlin from His Grace Foundation. 

His Grace Foundation provides physical, emotional and financial support to the patients and families of the Bone Marrow Transplant Unit (BMTU) at Texas Children’s Hospital (TCH).
 

In a single year, His Grace Foundation serves over 150 in-patient children receiving a BMT and hundreds more visiting the out-patient clinic. Often described as the ‘last hope for a cure’, BMT patients suffer from life-threatening diseases such as leukemia, lymphoma, neuroblastoma, SCIDS, sickle cell disease, rare blood disorders, brain tumors and other types of cancer.

Patients served by TCH often live in the Greater Houston area, though many travel from other cities, states, and even countries, leaving behind their local support systems and entering a 6-8 week period of isolation.

Texas Children’s Hospital’s state-of-the-art and award winning Bone Marrow Transplant Unit houses 25 beds across two floors in their Main Campus complex.

Cameron brings more than a decade of experience leading fundraising, community engagement, and program development across nonprofits and professional sports. Most recently at Texas Children's Hospital, he oversaw a community fundraising portfolio generating more than $5.3 million, managing 100+ events and stewarding relationships with individuals, schools and businesses. Before that, he held community relations roles with the Houston Dynamo FC and the San Antonio Spurs, designing programs that reached thousands of children and families. He combines relationship driven fundraising with data-informed strategy and a genuine passion for connecting people to causes that matter. This work is also personal. Cameron knows firsthand what it means to watch a family member endure a long, difficult hospital stay fighting a serious illness. The physical, financial, and emotional exhaustion, along with the isolating feeling of life moving on outside those walls plays a huge toll on every member of the family. That understanding is what drew Cameron to His Grace Foundation, and what drives him every day to show up for the families we serve.
